For over 200 years, the New Jersey Beach have attracted hundreds of thousands of vacationers each summer - But the latest report gives NJ Beaches a bad grade
A third man has now been criminally charged in connection to the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old Bradley Beach man nearly nine years ago in Monmouth County.
The Coast Guard in a statement said response crews have removed approximately 1,000 pounds of tar balls and oiled debris from impacted beaches between Asbury Park and Sea Bright.
The Coast Guard, along with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the Monmouth County Health Department continue to investigate how the balls, which are anywhere from 1-2 inches in diameter, wound up on Monmouth County beaches.
Kari Martin, Clean Ocean Action's Advocacy Campaign Manager said the tar and oil balls of varying size and texture were first reported Monday by some people on Seven Presidents Park in Long Branch and in adjacent Monmouth Beach.
A man who is accused of severely injuring his own infant daughter in a domestic violence incident last month has been extradited back to New Jersey from Ohio.
